Cathi's Marathons
Cathi has run the following Marathons:
2002
1)
The Top of Utah Marathon in Logan on September 21, 2002 (4:15:24)
She and her partner, Stacey Naylor ran this together. Here is a video of her marathon.
2004
2)
The Ogden Marathon: May 22, 2004 (4:14:14)
This marathon started up by Camp Kiesel and it rained and hailed most of the first half and she was soaking wet! This was
a fun marathon going down Ogden Canyon. 95% of the race was out in the boonies.
3) San Diego Rock and Roll Marathon on June 6th, 2004 and got her time down to 4:07:24
which put her at 204th in her division of 1722 runners!
You can also watch this small clip of her finishing
Watch for her at 4:10:50 exactly! Her chip time actually has her at 4:07:24 though.
4) The most difficult marathon so far...Deseret News Marathon on July 24th, 2004.
Here is a map
She finished in 4:24:42. The killer part was the hill going up to Hogle Zoo, this was where she started walking and then it was difficult to
maintain motivation to run after that. She had plenty of support though. Mom, Cara and Josh and I cheered her along the route starting at mile 15 on a
total of 7 times. She had Austin and Jacob running with her the last 1/2 mile across the finish line.
5) Pocatello - September 4th, 2004. Fun time with Grandma and Grandpa but not the best
race she has ever had. I helped her run up the hill by Century High in South Pocatello. Her final time was 4:16:03. Good job Cathi!
6) St. George ,
which isn't easy to get into! She liked this one. She ran up a really tough hill with a goal of not walking and she did it!
Bill and Roceil came down for this one. She got a time of 4:10:33. Way to go baby! She took 5th place for her category.
She calls it the "fat lady category". But if anyone considers 140 pounds fat, is on drugs.
7) Harrisburg, PA - November 14th, 2004. Cathi enjoyed
visiting her sister Becky for this one. Cathi had a hard time with this marathon, it was her least favorite marathon next to Pocatello. Her time was 5:38:50.
2005
Baby Samuel
2006
Moab half marathon - March 18, 2006. Time=02:32:56.6. This one Cathi admittedly pooped out real
early in the race and started walking. She didn't make any friends and her partner didn't show. She finished 30 minutes behind what she could have done
had she performed to her standard. Its all good though. She had fun and we took Jacob and Samuel. They had fun swimming at the Holiday Inn pool and
we had fun. Here is a clip of Jacob and Samuel waiting for mom to come by.
She finally came by and Jacob finished the last 2 miles with her. That was the highlight of
her race when Jacob helped push her to the finish
Bluffridge 5K (2 June 2006) Time=26:xx. Cathi supported Austin and Jacob in their race and ran in some new shoes which
made her fast. She enjoyed this race very much and her time wasn't bad either! Good Job sweetie!
2007
Baby Oliver
2008
8)SLC Marathon - April 19, 2008 Finished in 4:04:19. Read the details in Cathi's Journal.
9)Ogden Marathon - May 17, 2008 Finished in 3:50:25. - new personal record!
10)Deseret News Marathon - July 24, 2008 Finished in 3:51:04 - Another one under 4:00, only 39 seconds from record. Took 5th place for age division and 24th overall for women (out of 157). The course is better than last time, but don't like how parade is along that route so spectators have to compete for parking with parade watchers. Good job Cathi!
11)Pocatello Marathon - August 30, 2008 Finished in 3:45:49 - New personal record and Boston qualifier! We're going to Boston!
12)Top of Utah Marathon - September 20, 2008 Finished in 3:54:30 - The last 6 miles of Top of Utah is tough! Its slightly up hill and just tough to complete!
13)Valley of Fire Marathon - November 22, 2008 Finished in 4:25:06 - Tough course! She went solo on this one.

23)Top of Utah Marathon - 19 September, 2009. Finished in 4:08:43
24)St. George Marathon - 3 October, 2009. Finished in 3:40:25. Three and a half minutes faster than Pocatello and killed her PR! This one even had a 4 mile hill @ mile 7 - 11. What up Cathi!? You Rock!
25)Columbia River Marathon - 24 October, 2009. Finished in 3:51:19. Overall Female Winner! First time that's happened!
26)Mesquitte Nevada Marathon - 22 November, 2009. Finished in 3:57:22.
2010
27)Buffalo 50K - 27 March, 2010. Finished in 6:11 - First race longer than a marathon (32 miles) with a 6000 foot overall elevation increase. Wow, what a trooper!
28)Salt Lake City Marathon - 17 April, 2010. Finished in 4:14:34 - Shin Splints the first 8 miles and Mom, Dad and Michele were there to cheer at Mile 13 and I cried like a baby! That was just the pep I needed to pick it up and finish strong!
29)Ogden - 15 May, 2010. Finished in 3:46:41 - Janette and Wendy pushed me on the first half. Quicker than a pace I prefer, but I knew that if I kept it up until Mile 18 it would literally all be down from there. Ended up less than a minute from qualifying for Boston again. But I already did that twice this past year, so no worries.
30)Bear Lake Idaho Marathon - 11 June, 2010, Finished in 4:00:00 even! - Took second place overall out of 27 females! Did this marathon in the morning and rushed off to Boise for Gordon's 70.3 Ironman.
